    lol, no worries

    although the fact that I'm able to do that is why I stress to most people to make their PhotoBucket albums "private"

    it's not such a bad thing anymore since PhotoBucket has gotten pretty strict on the content that you're able to host, but it wasn't too long ago when they were not so strict, that if some dude posted a picture of his truck and his albums were not set as private, if he happened to have some "revealing pictures" of his girlfriend or wife in an album, it was cakewalk to get in and view/save/share them without his consent, or his knowledge.

    not that I've ever done such a thing :rolleyes: just because I know where the backdoor is doesn't mean I ever use it :D

    .
    So I finished up the Blue Sea aux fuse block install and wired the rest of the lights in the back to polish off the RIS (Retina Incineration System). Idled the truck for about a half-hour with all the lights plus the high-beams running to check for warm wires or anything else amiss, it's all good.

    From about 60 feet back, the round KC's are not pointed at the camera at all, rounds 130w x 2 rectangles are 100w x 2

    I pretty much did the 60k Maintenance myself. I did spark plugs, cabin filter, oil and filter, engine air filter, and I had a professional do the tranny drain and fill. Last thing left to do is rear diff with LSD. If it possible to screw it up?

    Yes I have the mechanical LSD. I'm worried and picky about what gear oil to use. I hear people have problems running synthetic gear oil for the LSD. And also some have the chatter problem. I know its not difficult to do its just draining it and refilling to just about the oil running out the fill hole. Then torqueing the bolts to 36 ft-lbs.

    I run Royal Purple Synthetic in mine with the LSD and the LSD additive and have had no problems at all. Put it in about this time last year when I did my gear swap and have had no issues at all and everything is still nice and quiet.

    True, but I'd rather have beaches close by.

    I'd go insane without a beach. Never lived farther than 2 miles from a beach.
